Subject: Border Update, February 15, 1997,  7:36PM Japan Time

The situation as our information has it:

Sakhandhit (12 Feb) and Chogali (11 Feb) area were already occupied by SLORC
and DKBO.  Htee Kaplae, the headquarters of Gen. Bo Mya fell on 13th of Feb.
(KNU burned it prior to SLORC's arrival).

Noh Pha Doh refugee camp near Htee Kaplae was evacuated but the Thai
military did not allow the refugees to cross at the check point.

On the 13 and 14 of Feb. DKBO and SLORC overran Azin, Kawee Khlae and four
refugee camps on the border.  Many people crossed and hide in Pai Khlae,
south of Kalaw Htaw.

SLORC has begun attacking KNU's 4th brigade area.

About 20,000 to 30,000 displaced people crossed the border.
